Slide 36 (Answer) / 116 Common Cell Features

Most cells - prokaryotic and eukaryotic - have a few parts in common: · Plasma membrane : thin membrane that encloses cells and regulates what materials can enter and exit the cell. · Cytoplasm or Cytosol : gel-like solution that fills up the cell; all of the organelles are contained within the cytoplasm. · Ribosomes : assemble cellular machines called proteins · DNA: a molecule that directs cell activities and gives organisms their specific traits

Organisms have multiple levels of structure and organization. In multicellular organisms, the body is a system of multiple interacting subsystems. How do all of these systems communicate with one another to function as a whole and respond to their environment? In animals, sensory receptors respond to stimuli by sending messages to the brain for immediate behavior or storage as memories.

Slide 94 / 116 Information Processing

Slide 104 (Answer) / 116 Sensory Modalities, Memory, and Behavior

Human sensory modalities together gather sensory information about stimuli that results in immediate behavior reaction and short-term sensory memory storage. There are at least five main organs that sense information from the environment. Can you name these five organs? These organs contain different sensory receptors.

Sensory Receptors

A sensory receptor is a nerve cell or bundle of nerve cells that interact with stimuli and send signals to the brain for

  • processing. They are all found all over the body and protect us

from harm.

Slide 106 / 116 Sensory Receptors

Humans have many sensor receptors that contribute to a multitude of senses. There are five main sensory receptors that allow humans to sense different things. Temperature receptors- gives animals the ability to sense heat and cold Pain receptors- detect and respond to internal or external pain

Slide 107 / 116 Sensory Receptors

Chemoreceptors- associated with the sense of taste and smell. Mechanoreceptors - are associated with the ability to sense touch, pressure, sound and balance.

Sensory Receptors

Photoreceptors - are sensitive to light and allow animals to see In addition to these five main sensory receptors, there are many more that contribute to many more senses!

Slide 109 / 116 Sensory Receptors

Other sensory receptors include: · Hunger Receptors-allows a person to sense when the body needs food · Stretch Receptors- sense the dilation of blood vessels and are found in the lungs, bladder and stomach · Magnetoreceptors- sense and respond to magnetic fields · Electroreceptors- sense and respond to electric fields · Hydroreceptors- associated with the ability to sense changes in humidity · Position Receptors- allow humans to sense where body parts are in relation to other body parts

Slide 110 / 116 Nervous System Functions

Sensory input : Recieve signals from sensory receptors Integration : Interpret the sensory signals and form appropriate responses Motor output : Conduct signals from the integration centers to effector organs, which can be muscles or glands, to carry out the body's response.

Nervous System Functions

Discuss the sensory input, motor output below. What type of stimulus might have elicited this response?

Slide 112 / 116 Lab 3 Can You Trust Your Senses? Slide 113 / 116 Reflexes

A reflex is a response to a stimulus that bypasses the brain. The input signal travels a short distance to the spinal cord and the body automatically responds back. Since the input signal doesn't have to travel all the way to the brain, the reaction is almost instantaneous.
